New 'speakeasy' to open next week in downtown Loveland

LOVELAND -- The owners of Consignment Café are trading in coffee and consignment merchandise for mojitos and gourmet hot dogs.

Roland Demers and his fiancee, Cassandra Breen, are converting the store they opened last fall at 111 E. Fifth St. into Tommy Gun's Hideout.

From their store of antiques, they are outfitting the new bar into a 1920s-themed hangout. Their servers will be dressed to match the speakeasy ambiance, Demers said.

The bar will specialize in mojitos, the Cuban cocktail that features white rum, mint, sugar (or cane juice) and lime juice. And the food will be gourmet hot dogs, Breen said.

The bar has a pool table, a small stage and patio seating out front.

Demers and Breen plan to open Saturday, May 12, when the band Hot Club of Boulder will play.

Demers and Breen also own and operate Suede, an art-themed event center in south Loveland.
